Mexicans catch on to American ways in
an encouraging way. A syndicate of City
of Mexico bankers has recently been trying
to corner the wheat Market has pushed up
the price 80 per cent, and has tremendous
stock on hand. And they are likely too to
meet with the average American luck, as it
is said the corner is almost sure to burst and

An inquiry into the condition of the poor
of Vienna led to the discovery that upward
of 1000 little children attended school while
suffering the pangs of hunger, some of
them being on the verge of actual starva-
ton. The discovery caused a great out
burst of popular sympathy, and now the
little ones are well clothed and fed. Popu-
lar sympathy is tickle, however, and doubt
less before long most of the children will
have sunk to condition even more miser-

The New York Tribune calls the Demo
cratic districts Of New York city the
''boodle" districts, and those which usually
give Republican majorities the brown
stone" districts. 1t will hardly make con-
verts by the insinuation that Democrats are
thieves and Republicans rich. 1t is probably
true that more Republicans than Democrats
are rich, but it is because they have been
dividing up among themselves for years the
immense amount of Doodle taken from the
people under the forms Of law. Repubh-
cans are ''protectionistsn and ''boodiers."

Mr.. Bagley is at loss to decide whether
the above letters were written by freedmen
or some one else who may hope to scare
him out of the country, and profit by his
departure, but is inclined to the latter the
DRY. We should say the first letter was not
written by freedman, or at least an ordin-

no one of those implicated save Mr.. Bagley
has received any such letters is significant.

whoever they may be, may be discovered
and brought to justice.
